Excuse me while I get my tissues, because that got me too.

I had asthma.

Singing helped change the way I breathed.

I could almost get myself out of it from my own techniques.

Have an asthma attack, sit at the piano and start singing, no more asthma attack.

Prior to every single vocal lesson, I do an incredibly detailed breathing series.

They would come up from this big breathing series and go like this, wow, why use drugs?

Cause the high you get from deep breathing is real.

None.

Thank you so much.

I'm so happy to be here.

I know anybody hears Ben Platt and they're like, what?

Totally.

And that's basically Ben in a nutshell.

It's going to start so teeny weenie.

I remember being six years old and being asked to sing God Bless America at the lip of a stage in some school auditorium.

And I sang, and it was probably just a piano playing behind me.

And I felt, I don't think I understood patriotism at the time at six years old, but I certainly felt that my voice...

singing in general, but certainly singing that song.

Cause it's very broad.
